I absolutely love this! Can I ask what type of siding was used, specifically in photo # 22?

IS IT POSSIBLE ?????

We have a library in our home. The room used to be a TV room, which was impractical for two reasons: first, the room is located over the garage and is open to the bedroom, which meant that watching TV at night would disturb our children's sleep. Secondly, having windows on three sides of the room made TV watching difficult in the daytime, as no matter what angle we positioned the TV and sofa, we would always have glares. So we decided to move the computer from the basement to the den, we added a large bookshelf on one wall, and repurposed an extra dining room set into a homework station, the sideboard and huthc acting as a stationery/board game center. We are very pleased with the results and my sixteen year old now uses it to tutor another young girl, because she has everything handy, there room enough for them to spread the materials, use a laptop, dictionaries and work materials are handy and there is always plenty of light.

Hi there, It's always difficult working out the best place for a fireplace and indeed a tv but what I would ask is why have you opted for an L-Shaped extension? Have you got lots of constraints on the land or the garden? Long and thin extensions can always be a problem as they lack the width to create nice spaces without bottle necks or furniture blocking circulation and people movement. One of the things you will have to think about is the venting or flue / chimney and then there's the regulations about the stove being a minimum distance away from combustible materials. It would be nice to be able to look at the burner while you're facing into the garden so maybe a wall on the patio side to break up the glass doors and then add more light in from above to make it a little cosier. Sometimes too much glass can feel / look cold. The TV is always a problem but I suggest again to possible mount it on a wall but remember if you have the screen facing all that glass you will get reflection problems. Maybe you need to make a feature wall out of slate or stone that would have the wood burning stove against it and the TV offset a little on the same wall. Then have your glass doors either side so when you're sat on your sofa you can see the garden / patio all while sat in front of your stove and viewing the tv. Its a difficult one all in all but if you have the opportunity to alter the L shape and make at least one leg of it slightly wider it may give you a better option for the burner, sofa and the cosiness without the feel of a long thin room with not many passing places. Just a couple of suggestions but as I can see the design brief or land size / constraints etc I might be a little off the mark. Cheers. Simon www.scdc.biz

How to improve this exterior?

What about 6 massive pots? Two one either side of the bay windows and one on either side of the front door. (I too have a massive gray gravel drive way. Trying to plant through the gravel brings on a whole other set of challenges. Pots are just more practical, for me anyway.) I love those trees in the lawn area.:) And the green trim. Also, how would that bright area around the front door look painted a shade a bit closer to the color of the brick and stone areas?

A15) @Dara Cooke: If you can't afford a quartz or granite worktop from day one then I would recommend using a laminate worktop as a temporary solution. If you don't put tiles up as a backsplash then replacing the worktops can be relatively easy in a couple of years.
